II Timothy 2:22 NKJV
“Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
II Timothy 2:22 NKJV
Paul taught Timothy his spiritual son to flee youthful lust.
As youth, they can very eager to know about things, eager to experience new things and want to try new things.
There is a danger lurking in every aspect if there is no boundaries set as a youth.
Temptation that can draw us into relationships out of boundaries, conversation heated up to destruction and desires that rob their full potential in God.
Paul is teaching Timothy to flee from the bait satan put out there to entice them in.
Paul taught Timothy to be alert spiritually and not to be carnal minded.
He is teaching Timothy to pursue his spiritual identity and live in his supernatural inheritance.
The only place of purity is to be living in Christ and in all that He has done for us.
That is the place Paul desired Timothy to live in and that’s the place our Heavenly Father has prepared for His children through Christ our Lord.
Therefore, let us keep ourselves out from the devices of the enemy, pursue Christ and live as a new creation in Him.
Blessings
